Directions:

In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, corn syrup, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Knead into a dough. Form into balls with a cherry wrapped in the middle. The balls should be approximately the size of walnuts. Place balls in the freezer to chill. In a double boiler, melt chocolate. Dip the cooled balls in the chocolate and let cool on parchment paper.

It takes a few weeks for the sugar dough to react with the maraschino cherry to form a juicy center. Plan on making these ahead of time so they have ample time to ripen. Also, I like to use white and chocolate almond bark for dipping. You may need to double dip if your first dipping cracks at all.
